Speaking of Which....

Somebody sent me a link to a piece by Scot McKnight, an Evangelical theologian, called From Wheaton to Rome. McKnight is not a convert to the Catholic faih, but he's interested in the dynamics of conversion and writes an informed and empathetic survey of some of the Big Name conversions of recent years (as well as of a few folk I've never heard of). As I read the piece, I recalled Scott Hahn mentioning McKnight's name as somebody who might be interested in _Behold Your Mother: An Evangelical Discovers the Blessed Virgin Mary_, so I Googled him and asked if he'd like to see it (and perhaps blurb it).

I got a gracious note back this morning expressing enthusiastic interest. More than that, Dr. McKnight was a bit gobsmacked because he's writing a book called _She is His Mother: An Evangelical Discovers Mary_.

Something huge is happening out there. I get a stronger and stronger sense that there is a real sea change happening in Evangelical attitudes toward Our Lady. I look forward to getting to know Dr. McKnight better.
